In amongst other light shows through the year, Sydney puts on a festival of lights, music and ideas called Vivid Sydney every year in partnership with Energy Australia. The festival is made up of the Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House, Macquarie Visions, The Rocks Fire Water, Creative Sydney, X|Media|Lab Global Media Ideas & Song Summit. It celebrates the 200th anniversary of Australian visionaries Governor Lachlan and Elizabeth Macquarie –- the ultimate Sydney power couple.

I was also pleasantly surprised to find that Lachlan Macquarie’s(1761 – 1824) travels took him right from the Island of Ulva in Inner Hebrides, Scotland as far as America, India, Egypt, Britain and back to Scotland.
It sure transformed the city into a spectacular living canvas of colours. Here are some shots I took during our Vivid Sydney Walk. We took the opportunity to visit the Nippon Club while in the area. Thanks L for the suggestion.
Wow – I didn't know about this – looks amazing!
